[applause] a nuclear-armed iran will raise the risk of terrorism, it will undermine thespark an arms race in a volatile region and it will embolden a government that shows no respect for the rights of its own people or the responsibilities of nations. that's why america has built a coalition to increase the cost of iran failing to meet its obligation. iran is under more pressure t
